Matching a flat Xpress Deck Series - 1650D 2008 against a modified vee Xpress H24B 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Xpress H24B 2013 measures 24,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 8,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Xpress Deck Series - 1650D 2008 at 16,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Xpress H24B 2013 tips the scales at 1 659 lbs — 1 618 lbs less than the Xpress Deck Series - 1650D 2008 at 41 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Xpress H24B 2013 has a 220-hp advantage over the Xpress Deck Series - 1650D 2008's 30-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Xpress H24B 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Xpress Deck Series - 1650D 2008 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Xpress H24B 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Xpress H24B 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Xpress Deck Series - 1650D 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
